But speaking to the suit: Unless we're completely misreading this, it appears the "maximum of three messages" is in reference to text alerts above and beyond — aka "further" — the ones about the Penguins, from "us, our affiliates and partners." You know, direct marketing stuff. As long as that content didn't exceed three messages, there's no case.

From the complaint:By exceeding the authorized limits on weekly text message calls made to Plaintiff... Defendant has caused Plaintiff and the other members of the Class actual harm, not only because they were subjected to the aggravation that necessarily accompanies the invasion of privacy caused by unsolicited text message calls, but also because consumers frequently have to pay their cell phone service providers for the receipt of such wireless calls.”

I'd love to hear the explanation of the "actual harm" that was suffered by this person. The underlined words that are used to describe this guy's situation are laughable. These texts that he agreed to receive, according to him, were not only aggravating but an invasion of privacy as well. That is to say, after all, when he got ones he knowingly signed up for but didn't actually want when it wasn't convenient for him or his wallet. What this boils down to is a guy who doesn't want to pay his phone bill. If an extra text message or two from the Pittsburgh Penguins mobile service causes you "harm" it's time to get yourself checked out by a professional. The unspecified damages they're seeking ... one can only guess.

This clown obviously didn't comprehend what he read in the agreement ..

"alerts go out after every game" .. well, if there are 4 games that week, you're gonna' get 4 text messages ..plus maybe an additional 3 ..Holy crap .. 7 texts in a week .. OMG.. What lawyer would even take his case ??? Did the lawyer read the terms of service ??
